I hope someone may have an answer of help for me. In the
last couple weeks, at some point, a search engine was
added to my tool bar. It pops up everytime I run my
Browser. When I right click on the tool bar to uncheck it
it is called meet Chin. It will go away until I shut down
my browser but when I open it up again it keeps coming
back. I have no ideal where it came from .

I now have another one that is popping up at the bottome
of my browser and that one just started to show up. I
have no idea what that one is called. Anyone have a
suggestion. My son did download a spyblocker program and
I have run it on my end as well.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Check your system for "hijackware":

CoolWebSearch Chronicles & CWShredder
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html

Run in this order:

1. CWShredder (fix all)

2. Ad-Aware (fix all)

3. Spybot (generally, fix all in red)

Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each
and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.**

[Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.]

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
